  • Well if he looks 30 and you treat him as a prodigy in maturity and boldness, you have a new angle, non-cliché, to explore. All you have in the past 30 years or so, with the exception of Batman, maybe, are stories about rogue youngsters who disobey o…

  • I don't disagree. I'd rather have a mature Bond in his late 30s, early 40s. I've only proposed Louis Partridge because, in the (very) young Bond scenario, he is definitely the best choice, and, like Connery, he can pass for older. He could very w…
  • Well, they’re saying the new Potter series will run for 10 years, up to 2037, so if Amazon is thinking long term, they could very well do it differently from Eon, and pick “the” guy for the next two decades or so, and build upon whatever Villeneuve …
  • Right? Number one candidate, as far as I’m concerned. For a young Bond scenario, that is. But he beats the older candidates as well. Imagine that guy groomed into the role 10 to 15 years in.

  • Alfie Allen has been typecast as a weasel character of sorts because, well, he looks the part. I wouldn’t want to look like him. So, Bond he is not. Want a young Bond, give it to Louis Partridge, who will be in Knight’s House of Guiness. He looks…
  • Rose-Marsh is the anti-Connery: no eyebrows :P And before anyone says it, Craig had more eyebrows than this fella, who doesn't look like Bond, doesn't seem to act much, has no presence at all, no charisma. That piece of rumor is as fake as it ge…
  • So glad you shared that particular post, @mtm. I stand by what I wrote in the last post. Being critical with good cause is not bullying. Now it’s here for everyone to see. I take it you refer to Benny, neither of us were bullies. We were critical of…

  • Looks like a Cavill clone, sounds like Cavill as well. Not a fan.
  • And Beyond the ice? Wasn’t that one? For DUD?

  • Never been a fan of Nortons. Well, except for the bikes. Those are cool :) Bit tired of the thug Bond, though. Tired of thugs in general. Not a fan of the “bruit in a suit” approach to Bond. I’d rather have the gentleman spy who can do some jujit…

  • I don't care, as long as it is brilliantly written.

  • It is a dangerous world for the arts, this one we’re living in. One more reason to be happy we have Steven Knight behind the writing desk!
